I am a small ISP in easter washington. The PUD operates the fiber network that I then resell to my customers. The PUD doesnt let the customers talk to each other on the network, I think its called client isolation. Meaning that for video gamers they are not cannot play games with each other. They can only play an xbox live game if someone outside our network hosts it.
I talked to the PUD and they said the are not going to change the way it is set up, because they want to charge extra to businesses to connect two locations together. The PUD guy said to maybe try forcing all the traffic to go through the router. He said he wasnt sure what it was called, but he called it host only addressing.
I was wondering if anyone knew how to do this, had a different way for clients to talk to other clients.
Thanks
